From the childsplay thread to the various assistance many of us have received publicly or privately with all manner of personal topics. The fact that we're able to have a topic like this without it developing into a massive ego spat speaks volumes. There will be times when we step over the line. We may have a bad day and take It out on the forum. We may just not like someone. But very rarely do we see any real nastiness. If we're bringing real life into this, let's remember Andy is a policeman. He's no doubt been involved in assaults, potential threats on his life and other nastiness in service to his community. Do we suddenly forget that because he may or may not have said something inappropriate on a Thursday evening with his mates? My point is, this whole subject is not cool. Andy is a good bloke with a good heart. This forum had form for overly critical behaviour in the past so if someone stepped over the line today it's something we all need to take responsibility for.

To think things about a person and immediately feel that you 1) have an immediate need to communicate this to the person and 2) that the person should not only not be angry, but be happy that you are taking time out to put them straight is not really honesty. It swings between being rude and cruel, hopefully hitting funny along the way.Gonzo wrote:andy's quick to anger, but honestly, he probably expressed something we all thought. I also thought "drama queen", in the corner of my mind. Erm, having said that, what did he post?
